What is the eclipse shortcut for auto-generating a default and field constructor?

Question

I had a look at: Eclipse-Shortcuts, but I found nothing for generating a constructor.

Whats the shortcut for generating a standard constructor?

Answer 1

Type the first letter of your class, then press Ctrl+Space, Eclipse will list suggestions within a combobox. The topmost suggestion is the default constructor. Press Enter, it will be done. (I'm using Eclipse Juno and it works.)

Answer 2

Alt+Shift+s and then o opens the Generate Constructor using Fields dialog.

Answer 3

Goto Source ---> Generate constructor using Fields

Under Source Title bar, select the Generate constructor using Fields option.

Or

Ctrl+Space which displays the various suggestions possible, from there you can go for the default contructor.

Answer 4

Ways to Generate default Constructor -
1) Press Ctl + Space

Ways to Generate field Constructor -
1) Press Alt + Shift + S + O
2) Right click -> Source -> Generate Constructor using field
3) Go to Source menu -> Generate Constructor using field
4) Go to Windows menu -> Preferences -> General -> Keys (Write Generate Constructor using field on text field)

Answer 5

When you hit CTRL-SPACE inside your class definition, you will see a drop down. First option is your Constructor.

Answer 6

Or you could type Ctrl + 3 and type GCUF, what means. Generate Constructor Using Field. Do almost the same to generate getters and setters: Type Ctrl + 3 and type GGAS, what means, Generate Getters And Setters

Answer 7

For Mac Users it is

Option + Command(⌘) + S or

Command(⌘) + Option + S will open the pop up.

Answer 8

I think CTRL + 3 is great.

GCFS - generate constructors from a superclass. GCUF - generate constructor using fields. GGAS - generate getters and setters.
